Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality-Chapter 560 - Every Bite and Every Sip is Preordained
Chapter 560 Every Bite and Every Sip is Preordained
Wearing a white lotus Taoist robe and a pair of pink satin shoes, Xin Yuanping is surrounded by several beautiful nuns with a black lotus in her hand. Wind is blowing the white silk hairband she wears. At the first glance, she looks like a master Taoist.
When she sees Lin Luoran clearly, she has a bigger smile. Her dignified and holy face becomes vivid and charming, eclipsing several beautiful nuns.
“School Brother An!”
Xin Yuanping smiles and An also smiles, which makes Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan laugh.
Xin Yuanping smiles because she thinks her School brother An is really clever. He invites Lin Luoran here to shoot fish in a barrel.
An’s smile is very interesting. Having known everything, he can use cultivators as chess pieces to play a game which he has designed for many years.
Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan laugh because Xin Yuanping doesn’t even know that she is about to face her imminent death.
Even if An lies, they can still control the situation with their personal ability above Gathering Vitality. Several Gathering Vitality female cultivators can hardly defeat her and Mu Tiannan. Sometimes quantitative change can never beat qualitative change, just as Training Qi cultivators can never defeat Laying Foundation cultivators.
If everything An said is true, Xin Yuanping will die of her arrogance today.
Old Taoist Hui Zhu raised An and taught him to enhance personal ability in person. An was very grateful to the old Taoist Hui Zhu, and he established a deep friendship with his friends in the school. He will never stop revenging against Xin Yuanping because of a simple Oath of Devil Inside. Besides… An only needs to push a little behind, he doesn’t need to do it himself.
“Xin Yuanping, you and I must be enemies in the previous life. You keep on at me, and I have been waiting for this battle for hundreds of years. It is still early. Let’s get everything done.”
Mu Tiannan is behind her. With his support, Lin Luoran feels she is safe.
Lin Luoran says every word slowly, and Xin Yuanping laughs.
“Lin Luoran, do you know the main reason why I hate you? It’s not sacrificing your arm to destroy the lotus and purifying the blood pool hostility. Your pretentious preaching is the most disgusting! “
Lin Luoran looks at her calmly without any anger.
She has understood a truth for a long time—no matter how good you are, don’t expect everyone to like you.
Whether she is sincere or pretentious, Xin Yuanping is still a female demon who rebelled her school, killed and tortured cultivators, and murdered her own father. Lin Luoran doesn’t care about what she thinks of her.
Xin Yuanping wanted to kill her several times. Lin Luoran will never forgive her for anyone’s sake.
If she forgives her, she will never forgive herself!
With a wave of her sleeves, Xin Yuanping shots out almost one hundred magic figures with abundant Reiki. Several apprentices dressed up as nuns move quickly and surround Lin Luoran. They make a figure circle together.
It’s a magic circle made of 81 magic figures. It seems that the old Taoist Hui Zhu taught Xin Yuanping everything about magic figures. She can control 81 figure paper at the same time. Even though someone supports her, it is still an extremely exquisite technique.
The magic circle is powerful because it can double strength. Xin Yuanping’s trick is really amazing. With his personal ability of early Gathering Vitality period, she can trap cultivators of middle Gathering Vitality period easily. If she meets some careless enemies of late Gathering Vitality period, this figure circle may even trap them for a moment.
However, Lin Luoran is not a cultivator of late Gathering Vitality period. She is at Divinization period before the doom. An may know it, but Xin Yuanping definitely has no idea. Otherwise, this female devil will never be so arrogant!
Seeing Xin Yuanping holding a black lotus to manipulate the figure circle, Lin Luoran is afraid that Xin Yuanping may have some other unique skills and she will lose for carelessness. She doesn’t leave Xin Yuanping any time to form the figure circle.
Using fingers as a pen, Lin Luoran is going to write “fire” to solve the problem all at once. Feeling the changes in the surrounding environment, An shouts out immediately, “School Sister Lin, those juniors are Qingcheng Taoists. Please show some mercy.”
Qingcheng Taoists have been slaughtered, but Xin Yuanping has obtained the most magic figure inheritance. In recent years, she has also trained a batch of apprentices. An has entered the prophet god school but he still has to save some inheritors for Qingcheng Taoist Temple.
“Well, you have been calling me school sister for so many times. I can’t destroy this temple… Xin Yuanping, let’s solve the problem at another place.”
Xin Yuanping sneers. Her figure circle is stable now and Lin Luoran wants to change the place? What a joke! An hasn’t done anything yet. Is he afraid of Brother Mu?
Lin Luoran finishes her sentences and her hand gesture has changed. Golden word figures flash. When the word “wind” is written, wind comes here from nowhere.
Obviously, it is only gentle breeze which can shake the laurel tree slightly. However, when it touches people, it clings to their bodies like super glue. This irresistible tearing force throws some female nuns out who are supporting the figure circle.
The breeze firmly catches the black lotus in Xin Yuanping’s hand. Xin Yuanping is totally shocked. The function of this figure circle is to cut off the interaction between people in the circle and the Reiki of heaven and earth. It can isolate spells and arts of nature so that her enemy can’t attack her from the outside. However, Lin Luoran just leads wind here easily. What kind of magic is it?
While Xin Yuanping is fighting against the wind, Lin Luoran is dealing with figure paper. She can always find a way out in a magic circle. Lin Luoran has a star atlas. Xin Yuanping shouldn’t try to trap her with a magic circle—Qingcheng Taoists are good at drawing figures, but they don’t have a deep understanding about magic circles. Even Lin Luoran can defeat them easily, let alone some real magic circle masters.
81 pieces of figure paper rotate at high speed and change positions. Lin Luoran has tried several times. Finally, when she points on a piece of magic figure, it slows down… that’s it!
The moment the exit appears, the true fire also appears on Lin Luoran’s fingertip, and the figure paper is burned. Xin Yuanping steps back with blood on the corner of her mouth. The magic circle has been destroyed.
Lin Luoran destroys her figure paper. She flies away from Qingcheng Taoist Temple to an open area of an island.
Xin Yuanping hesitates for a moment, and then she gives An a fierce look. She chases after Lin Luoran in air.
Only An and Mu Tiannan are left there.
An is in a good mood, and he takes the initiative to talk with Mu Tiannan, “School Brother Mu, why don’t you follow them?”
“There will be nothing interesting. She will definitely win.”
Mu Tiannan and An don’t have anything in common. They don’t know what they can talk about when they stay together.
After a while, An suddenly lowers his voice and says, “In fact, I don’t know the fate of School Sister Lin.”
Zhixiu can’t see Lin Luoran’s future, neither can An. What he can see is a white snowfield which is bitterly cold. It seems to be warning people who try to spy on Lin Luoran’s fate.
Mu Tiannan finally looks at him. He makes a fist with his right hand, and his joints crackle.
“How dare you lie to her?”
An smiles again, “But I saw your fate, School Brother Mu. You gave up the chance of the Tower of Babel teleportation more than four hundred years ago. Everyone knew that you wanted to wait for School Sister Lin. You broke the boundary, left the earth, and showed up on Tiankui Star. Of course, School Sister Lin would also be there! “
An’s tone is a little sly. For a moment, he is like the man he was.
Seeing that Mu Tiannan is shocked, An says after a while, “People always say that ‘every bite and every sip is preordained’. School Brother Mu, you were supposed to die with no wife and no children at the age of 80. However, you changed your fate with your own efforts several times. It’s really incredible that you can be the man you are. In general, you have good Taoism luck—going up against the wind, suffering first and then being rewarded. ”
Mu Tiannan’s clenched fist slowly loosens because of An’s words.
He was supposed to die with no wife and no children at the age of 80. Now he still has no wife and children. However, he has plenty of time to pursue what he wants.
An also commented on Wen Guanjing with “good Taoism luck”. Mu Tiannan believes he really has good Taoism luck to go up against the wind. Even if he doesn’t, he can still fight for himself.
…
Xin Yuanping soon realizes that she has underestimated Lin Luoran’s strength.
Of course, she still doesn’t know the truth—her biggest mistake is making a nice young Taoist an evil and twisted person. After the young Taoist became the future school master of prophet god school whom everyone thought highly of, he used human fate as chess pieces, and he played with both black and white pieces. Step by step, he arranged some accidental events, and then he gathered everyone together. He doesn’t have to do anything deliberately now. A little female cultivator will never have the strength to change her fate.
If everyone is like Mu Tiannan who changes the doomed fate with personal efforts, Tao of nature will totally become chaotic.
Xin Yuanping is going to die today.
An has spent a long time deducing this day. He has also made great efforts to change the fate of some seemingly unrelated and insignificant people. A butterfly that flaps its wings cannot affect the routine of an event. However, if thousands of butterflies flap their wings, it’s enough to blind Tao of nature and form the power to change a cultivator’s fate.
Several innocent and charming Gathering Vitality female cultivators of prophet god school are watching this battle nearby. Sometimes, they make comments. Xin Yuanping is really embarrassed because of Lin Luoran’s attack, and now she is totally annoyed.
When people are angry, they are very likely to get impulsive and even do something regrettable.
With Lin Luoran’s “humiliation” like playing with a mouse, Xin Yuanping’s black lotus shoots out.
The black lotus is suspending in the air. Without lotus seeds, lotus holes emit gray fog which instantly covers most of the island.
Several female cultivators of prophet god school scream and take magic weapons to protect themselves. The gray fog reaches vegetation of the island and then it soon withers at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within a few minutes, most part of this beautiful island becomes scorched like the earth after the disaster.
Lin Luoran’s Meta blocks the gray fog from herself. The black lotus releases transmuted “dead energy”. This stuff once turned the earth into a hell. Lin Luoran recalls that Xin Yuanping collected evil spirits on the battlefield of Yinyue Kingdom. Is Xin Yuanping now totally a devil?
The gray fog covers the sky. Spiritual mind is useless now. Lin Luoran can only hear scolding female cultivators of prophet god school, but she can’t find any trace of Xin Yuanping.
Ordinary dead energy can enter the body of a mortal easily. Transmuted dead energy can even contaminate a cultivator. Lin Luoran flies up, and the gray fog follows her. It is targeted at her!
Lin Luoran snorts. She wants to see what Xin Yuanping can do.
Lin Luoran’s fingers cast spells, and a large green bow appears in front of her.
One represents vitality while the other one represents death. Let’s see if the pure Meta of Wood can defeat the dead energy transmuted by Xin Yuanping.
Lin Luoran holds the bow in her left hand and puts her right hand on the string to draw the bow. A green arrow is shaped. Feeling the vitality in it, the extremely aggressive dead energy becomes excited and scared at the same time.
Black wind roars. Lin Luoran flies much higher than Xin Yuanping. The black lotus was damaged seriously by Lin Luoran while dead energy is now raging—spirit things also feel afraid. The voices of several female cultivators of prophet god school come from all directions. It seems that they want to stop Lin Luoran from shooting the arrow.
If she attacks with all her strength, no ordinary Gathering Vitality cultivator can survive. If she shoots these female cultivators, she will be an enemy of prophet god school.
They are in a stalemate for a long time. Lin Luoran eventually gives up because she cannot figure out the specific location of prophet god school female cultivators. When the green arrow disappears, a dark black lotus pierces Lin Luoran’s chest quietly. Firstly, Lin Luoran’s internal organs are minced. Then countless black threads entangle her fallen body and her Gathering Vitality in the pubic region.
Lin Luoran is just killed in this way? !
Xin Yuanping’s heart is beating fiercely. Lin Luoran’s Gathering Vitality and primordial spirit are both quiet. Gosh, she is fooled!
Lin Luoran smiles. With a large green bow in her hand, she appears behind Xin Yuanping. Her right hand holding the bowstring loosens, and the arrow of vitality shots out, breaking through the dead energy. The distance is so short that Xin Yuanping can’t escape from it. Green arrow pierces her chest in the same way.
Xin Yuanping falls down with grief. What her black lotus wrapped is just a small mahogany board.
Gathering Vitality cultivators have their own ways to protect themselves. The art of nature of “substitution” is not advanced, but it can save people at a critical moment with the personal item nourished by the owner’s primordial spirit… Lin Luoran is distracted for a moment because she thinks of Wood Wolf who taught her this art of nature.
Black light bursts out. It hides in the gray fog and then disappears.
After all, Lin Luoran doesn’t have enough practical experience in dealing with Gathering Vitality cultivators—Xin Yuanping’s primordial spirit attaches to her Gathering Vitality and then escapes in dead energy.
Lin Luoran draws the bow again to shatter the dead energy which has lost control. Green arrow chases out. However, Xin Yuanping’s Gathering Vitality has already escaped far away in the sea. She can only see a light spot. Lin Luoran is about to chase Xin Yuanping when a white snake monster of Water suddenly jumps out of the calm sea. It swallows Xin Yuanping’s Gathering Vitality in one bite, and then chews twice to separate her Gathering Vitality from her primordial spirit. The pure energy of Gathering Vitality is swallowed, while the primordial spirit is spat out.
The primordial spirit happens to run into the arrow. Separated from the body, the primordial spirit is extremely fragile. It lets out a short scream. Then it is shattered by the arrow and dissipates in the sun.
Lin Luoran is totally stunned. Someone seems to put the snake monster of Water here in advance. It swallows Xin Yuanping’s Gathering Vitality and spits out her primordial spirit in a flash.
Suddenly, Lin Luoran remembers An once casually said that “she will come to a violent death sooner or later”. What an accurate conclusion!
Lin Luoran is still sighing at the magic of prophet god school when An and Mu Tiannan arrive here together. Several female cultivators of the prophet god school surround An to complain that this island is destroyed by dead energy. An coaxes them with a few words gently, and they go to clean up the mess actively.
“Xin Yuanping’s Gathering Vitality was swallowed by a snake monster of the Water. The conclusion of Fellow Cultivator An is indeed precise.”
An turns around and nods. He has been hating Xin Yuanping for many years and he wants her to die. She is dead now, but he suddenly feels so lost.
All Qingcheng Taoists are dead, and the only daughter of the master is also dead. Hearing the praise of “School Sister Lin” who he admired so much before, An still doesn’t feel very happy.
Four hundred years ago, Qingcheng Taoists were slaughtered because of his talent. The master held his hand and forced him to take the Oath of Devil Inside and then passed away. It seems that “An” was also dead at that moment. The survivor is the chief apprentice of prophet god school. The master, his friends, including Senior School Sister Xin, are all dead. He is totally alone on the way to Tao.
What kind of fate is this?
Lin Luoran notices An is strange so she calls his name several times. The familiar name finally awakens An.
An turns to Lin Luoran and answers her question. He didn’t arrange the monster of the Water.
“There was a female and a male snake monster of Water wandering near the island. A hundred years ago, Senior School Sister Xin had some accident when practicing magic skills. Therefore, she drew the soul of one water snake to nourish her primordial spirit. Every bite and every sip is preordained. It’s very fair.”
Drew the soul? No wonder the snake monster of the Water swallowed Xin Yuanping’s Gathering Vitality and spat out her primordial spirit.
The wages of sin is death. Devil Xin deserves it. Getting rid of an old enemy, Lin Luoran doesn’t feel as complicated as An. She is about to ask the most important question when An signals her not to do so.
“Deducing a cultivator’s fate is very laborious. I can only tell you that someone will help you before you leave Lanhu Star. School Sister Lin, after the Tower of Babel transmission, cultivators with single Taoist root of five elements can feel each other. I know the other three are still alive even without deduction. You can relax. ”
An has said that, and Lin Luoran cannot force him to deduce.
Mu Tiannan knows An can not deduce Lin Luoran’s fate, so he has a good attitude.
Prophet god school has to clean up the mess, so Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan think it’s time for them to leave. An doesn’t ask them to stay. He only says with a smile, “School Sister Lin, please visit me in the future.”
The young master of prophet god school may have the same name as An, but he is not the young master An that Lin Luoran knew. If they meet again in the future, they may only feel sad. In the end, Lin Luoran still nods and agrees. She doesn’t make it too certain.
Waiting for Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan to fly away, some female cultivators of prophet god school gather around. A female cultivator in a dress with purple hem grins and says, “Big brother, is she the extremely powerful school sister of the earth you once mentioned?”
An nods, and another round-faced female cultivator grumbles, “She doesn’t look impressive.” Girls who come from famous schools sometimes are narrow-minded. They can’t image that an individual cultivator from an abandoned star can be powerful. After all, their big brother with amazing qualifications still had to work hard for hundreds of years after he joined prophet god school.
An rubs her hair, “School Sister Lin is very powerful. If she doesn’t want to pass the doom, Heaven’s Doom will even avoid her.”
Round-faced female cultivator sticks out her tongue, “Really? Is she more powerful than grandmaster?”
“Talking about our grandmaster? You aren’t afraid of being punished?” An flicks her forehead.
The girl with purple hem says with confusion, “If the school sister is such a powerful woman, why don’t you help her fulfill her wish as a good deed for our school?”
Several girls ask questions one after another. An feels he is less gloomy.
“When a master of the mortal world deduces, he always hides something even though he has known everything. Because people love to hear nice words… someone will help a popular person like School Sister Lin. If the person who she once helped doesn’t return the favor, something will happen eventually. Why should I meddle with it?”
Because of the special nature of their school, they are only responsible for deduction. If they are involved in it, they will trigger something unexpected. Sooner or later, they will be retarded by its “results”. In this case, their deduction ability will be destroyed by itself. What An talks about is the tenet that prophet god school has always valued, so the girls have no objection. They change the topic by discussing what to add to this island.
As the setting sun is shining on the undulating sea, An picks up the black lotus that Xin Yuanping had not let go before her death. He remembers that he once did something bad to Lin Luoran in the Dragon Palace in Dongting.
Eventually, he failed. Under the witness of the crazy Taoist, the master could only choose to abandon him and take away Senior School Sister Xin.
At that time, he didn’t understand what expedient was, so he thought he was really kicked out of his school. The world was spacious but there was no room for him. School Sister Lin forgave him and recommended him to the special department of Huaxia… Having been in the world of cultivation for hundreds of years, he has never met a person like School Sister Lin.
Good people can’t survive in a dog-eat-dog world. However, we still admire people with good qualities.
When the starry sky is surprisingly bright at night, An watches the stars and uses their power to change a cultivator’s fortune forcibly. He only changes the fate of an insignificant cultivator. However, because it involves Lin Luoran, a variable that even prophet god school can’t deduce, An turns pale after completing the secret ability. He vomits a pool of black blood.
The crescent moon scar at the tail of his eyebrow is throbbing. If school master knows it, he will definitely yell at him again.
Time has changed so many things. It is better to miss each other than to meet each other. This is the last thing he can do for “School Sister Lin” whom many people look up to.
Every bite and every sip is preordained. They are even from now on.
…
In the market close to the interstellar transmission circle of Lanhu Star.
Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan don’t see the helper that An talks about during the journey. After waiting for a few days in the market, there is still no lucky chance. Lin Luoran doesn’t want to keep waiting. She and Mu Tiannan decide to leave Lanhu Star and continue heading west.
Passing by the restaurant they have been to, they don’t see Hawker Zhu Qi. Lin Luoran doesn’t know why she suddenly thinks of the stranger whom she happened to meet. However, she still subconsciously looks at the corner where Zhu Qi’s stall was. She doesn’t see Zhu Qi who sells figure paper. However, she does see a dirty man lying half-dead on the ground. His whole body is stinky.
“He is familiar?”
Mu Tiannan hears her words and takes two steps forward to turn over the person under the tree. With a blood-stained face, Zhu Qi is lying there!
After more than one month, this person now looks so miserable! Mu Tiannan thinks he is a good guy. He takes a pill and puts it into his mouth. One hour later, Zhu Qi gradually opens his eyes.
Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Zhu Qi seems to be a little excited. He tries his best to take out a Jade Map hidden in his hair and hands it to Lin Luoran.
Lin Luoran uses her spiritual mind to read it. She is totally overjoyed because of the information inside.
Passing the Jade Map to Mu Tiannan, Lin Luoran feels she is almost brainwashed by An’s phrase “every bite and every sip is preordained”—if they didn’t save Zhu Qi, they would not get the message!
She doesn’t know Zhu Qi’s original fate—he accidentally got some money from Mu Tiannan. After being locked on by someone for more than a month, he was attacked by a cudgel and then was seriously injured in a coma. He would not meet Lin and Mu who were about to leave Lanhu Star. In this way, he couldn’t give the Jade Map he obtained by chance to Lin Luoran.
In this case, the reunion with her family might be delayed for a long time without this Jade Map.
